Fair enough. I suppose it depends on the value that you place on your own messages for you to determine whether or not it's useful for you to do.

I think wrote the message did in fact write the message. I'm not keen
on forgers, nor reading their fake mails, so this is a nice thing to
have. And, I hope, it gives people confidence when reading mail from
me that I did in fact write it.
Exactly. If someone were to impersonate you on the discuss list or (say) gc on cooker that could have serious repercussions (which is why for major contributors and mdk employees, gpg comes in handy). For someone more like myself, I'm not sure that whether or not I sign my emails has any bearing on anything...
Which is why, when I look to change or use another email client, the first and most important thing is whether or not it supports gpg. =) Can't live without it.
